SGT Michael "Mike" James Stokely
Mike Stokely was killed in action in Iraq in August 2005. A letter from his father appears here.
Mike's dad has every reason to be proud of his son (and Mike's dad doesn't need me to tell him that). Through all his heartache in losing his son, I hope Mr. Stokely will take some solace in knowing that I (and hopefully most Americans) thank God that Mike was there, willing to give up his life, to protect this country. Thank you, Mr. Stokely, for raising such a great son.
